A young monk once asked the Buddha,
“Blessed One, how do I remain pure when I am surrounded by negativity, anger, and ignorance?”

The Buddha led him to a quiet pond.
The water was dark, heavy with mud.
From that mud rose a single lotus—clean, untouched, radiant.

The Buddha said nothing at first.
Then he asked gently,
“Does the lotus fight the mud?”

The monk looked closely.
“No, Blessed One.”

“Does it complain about the water that feeds it?”

“No.”

“Does it waste energy trying to change what surrounds it?”

Again, no.

The Buddha smiled.

“The lotus understands something most humans forget,” he said.
“It does not rise despite the mud—it rises because of it.”

Then the Buddha continued:

“The mud is not the enemy. Resistance is.
The lotus does not argue with darkness. It grows toward the light.
It does not absorb the dirt. It transforms it.”

“In this path,” the Buddha said,
“I do not teach you to escape the world.
I teach you not to let the world live inside you.”

People will gossip.
Situations will be unfair.
Life will place you in muddy waters again and again.

You have two choices:
• Sink into it
• Or grow through it

The lotus does not ask, ‘Why is the pond so dirty?’
It asks, ‘How high can I rise?’

Be like the lotus.

Focus on your practice, your integrity, your inner clarity.
Rise quietly. Bloom without permission.
Let your peace be so strong that the mud cannot touch it.

Not everything around you needs your reaction.
Some things only need your transcendence. 🌸

The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is surrounded by muscles that lend it stability. If any of these muscles become dysfunctional, it can lead to SIJ dysfunction and pain.

When a reiki practitioner lays hands, they are not using their own power; they are serving as a vessel, allowing healing, peace, and clarity to pass from the Most High into the person in need. Usui taught that the hands carry universal energy, and when asked to be used as a conduit they can calm turmoil, break heaviness, and call the soul back into balance.

This practice is firmly Bible-based:

“They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”— Mark 16:18,
laying hands is done with humility, discernment, and consent—always seeking healing, protection, and restoration, never control.

Having unexplained pains, and can’t figure out why? Test say everything is normal, but you know it's not. This may help. If you keep hearing “Everything looks normal.”

Intercostal neuralgia.

This is irritation of the intercostal nerves the nerves that run between the ribs and come out of the thoracic spine, wrapping around the chest and upper abdominal area.

This gets missed all the time because it doesn’t always show on imaging and it can mimic other issues, so the root cause never gets addressed.

What causes this pain?

Nerve irritation or compression along the rib cage
Tight or spasmed muscles pulling on the nerves
Thoracic spine or rib misalignment
Old injuries, sports impact, falls, or posture issues
Inflammation irritating the nerve pathways.

What it can feel like.

Sharp, stabbing, burning pain
Pain wrapping around the ribs, chest, or back
Pain with breathing, laughing, twisting, or movement
Tingling, numbness, sensitivity to touch
Pain that comes and goes without explanation

How therapeutic massage can help calm it.

Reducing inflammation
Releasing tension around the rib cage
Gentle movement and posture correction
Supporting circulation and nerve healing.

Just because something doesn’t show on a scan doesn’t mean it isn’t real.

If you’ve been told “nothing is wrong” but you know something is off, trust that. The body doesn’t lie.
